Hardcore Punks ZANJEER Return With Regan Youth Cover [Germany/Pakistan]

By on March 24, 2026

Berlin hardcore/crust band ZANJEER drops “Anti-Deutsch,” which is a rework of Reagan Youth’s eponymous track. Sung in Urdu, the track is the second preview from their upcoming debut album, Seher-e-Maqhoor (Eng: Dawn of the Oppressed), scheduled for April 3, 2026, via NEON NILE RECORDS on vinyl, CD, and tape, as well as across digital/streaming platforms.

Vocalist Hassan Dozakhi says:

“‘Anti-Deutsch’ is a cover of Reagan Youth’s eponymous song, with the lyrics altered to sneer at the Anti-Deutsch movement in German punk, which is widely shaped by alignment with American imperial foreign policy and a political culture rooted in historical guilt over the Shoah.

“Anti-Deutsch khalas!”

For further notes from Dozakhi, check the feature at DIY Conspiracy, where the track premiered alongside commentary from Madame St. Beatrice (Reagan Youth), Oi Polloi, and Roy Elani (Holocausts).

Delivered in Urdu, a lingua franca across Pakistan and India, this debut record, Seher-e-Maqhoor, connects the politics of the language’s homelands with that of its global diaspora, while extending solidarity with marginalized communities worldwide.

Pre-Order Seher-e-Maqhoor via Neon Nile Records (LP, CD, cassette, and merch) HERE. European customers can also order via Sonic Rendezvous HERE. The album will also be available on Bandcamp around the release date, physically and digitally, alongside merchandise.
